Downward Dog for Better Sex.

Several research studies have found that men’s sexual function can get a boost from yoga. The first study I read on the topic was published several years ago and focused on using yoga to help men with premature ejaculation. The thinking was that perhaps yoga helped men to relax and also to pay more attention to their bodily sensations, which could also then translate into helping them with premature ejaculation (e.g., by noting when they were getting super excited and then backing off to delay ejaculation).

More recently, additional research has looked at yoga and sex more broadly and has found that several aspects of men’s sexual lives (including erectile function) may benefit from regular yoga practice. Bottom line: not only might yoga classes be a good place to meet women, but a regular yoga practice might be good for your sex life in other ways, too.
